In the tag manager I accidentally added an icon to my TableOfContents tag and I can't remove the icon but can only seem to change it. I even tried to delete all the TableOfContent tags which looked to effectively delete the TableOfConent tag altogether but when I tried to re-add the tag the icon comes back. 
Any assistance is appreciated, thank you! (also TiddlyWiki is pretty neat, I've only been using it a few days and I've been spending hours enjoying fiddling with it)

Go to the tiddler that is your TableOfContents tag and edit it.
Below the text input field, there should be a field named "icon" that shows the name of the tiddler containing the icon image.
On the right, next to the icon field input, there will be a trash can icon.  Click that to remove the icon field from that tiddler.

enjoy,

Thanks Eric that worked! 
Also thank you for the Tiddly Tools site, just discovered from your reply to my question and it looks like a great resource. 
I'm wondering if there's a way to hide tags in view mode when not editing a tiddler? I'm wanting just a bit cleaner look but almost have it just the way I'd like it.

Create a tiddler with any title (e.g., "MyStyles") and tag it with "$:/tags/Stylesheet"
Then, in the text field of that tiddler, enter:
.tc-tags-wrapper { display:none; }

This defines a CSS rule that overrides the default tags display style when *viewing* a tiddler.  The tags will still be visible when *editing* a tiddler because that tags display uses a different CSS class (.tc-edit-tags).

Interestingly, that sounds like a suggestion I would make BUT the following sounds more like a suggestion that Eric would typically make:

Go to $:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags and remove tag $:/tags/ViewTemplate from it.

Whenever possible, I try to avoid making changes to shadows.  For something simple like removing a TWCore standard display element that has a specific CSS classname, using a stylesheet is *much* preferred.

I only suggest changing shadow tiddlers when there is no other way to achieve the desired result.

Eric,

Good advice. Perhaps in a local tiddler text field the use of <style> tags, with a custom class name, or delivered by view template only with a obviouse tag. But what would the step be to ensure it does not bleed onto other tiddlers?, perhaps using the tiddler class field?

Regards
Tony

Thank you Eric - your reasoning was a valuable lesson for me.
